Injury Rules Keaney Out

Dublin manager Pat Gilroy has named his team for Sunday's crucial Leinster Senior Champiopnship clash with Wexford.

There's only one change, but it's enforced. Conal Keaney, who scored four points from play in last weekend's defeat to Kilkenny, hasn't recovered recovered from a shoulder injury picked up in that game. His place is taken by Fiontán McGibb.

Other than that, it's as you were for the Boys in Blue, who haven't lost a Championship match to the Yellowbellies since 2008. Their most recent Leinster Championship meeting was in 2016 at Croke Park, as the Dubs strolled to an easy thirteen point win.

The sides last played in Wexford town in 2014, when Alan McCrabbe top scored for the Blues with nine points in another Dubs win.

It's Wexford's first game in Leinster this year, but for Pat Gilroy's charges, defeat is not an option if they want to appear in the Leinster Final in July.
